I think I have a boost leak...

Heres the prob:
My car would be boosting a max 15psi and would slowly drop as im punchin it. There is a HUGE lag on my 2nd and 3rd gears and the car just ain't pullin' as hard as it used to. In addition, I can hear a huge whistle when the turbo starts to spool. Any ideas on what and where the problem could be?

from reading the forums id check your ic connections and the bov connections. those hose clamps might be loose.

Just a AEM Short Ram and a BoV. I doubt they have anything to do with it since the "leak" occured before I installed these parts.

After looking through my IC piping, I found HALF a gasket between the piping and the turbo. Ordered a new one from the dealer, hope this will fix it.
